Virtual Interactive Meeting (VIM)

Time and Date

Overview

This online event gave state participants opportunities to actively engage each other in learning about data quality topics supported through IDC resources and technical assistance. At the end of an event, states self-selected topics discussed during the VIM into which they wanted to delve deeper into with other states through Peer-to-Peer Exchanges.

The initial VIM featured IDC’s Part B IDEA 618 Data Processes Toolkit on January 24. The VIM on this important toolkit enabled participants to engage with other state staff who have engaged in work with IDC. States learned from peers about the benefits of documenting data collection, validation, and submission processes. During the subsequent Peer-to-Peer Exchanges, participants will be able to delve more deeply into related 618 data collection topics such as child count, MOE/CEIS, personnel, exiting, discipline, dispute resolution, and assessment. IDC staff with expertise on the selected topics will facilitate and support the VIMs and Peer-to-Peer Exchanges.

Using the SEA Data Processes Toolkit to document data processes for all 616 and 618 data collections will establish a well-managed process for data collection, validation, and submission. In collaboration with IDC State Liaisons, states can use the toolkit to create and maintain a culture of high-quality data and establish and support consistent practices that produce valid and reliable data, while building the capacity of state staff.
